One of our contributors has a question, and an answer.
To all who have fought so hard for some sanity to gas drilling...I have a question.
Exactly when do you become an "activist" instead of the city labeled "naysayer," or even worse, "CAVE People" (Citizens Against Virtually Everything)?
ANSWER: When you and truth can no longer be silenced by elected leadership.
Keep making noise! Hold your leaders accountable.
Unite tomorrow! Invite your friends and your family. It's their air and water too!

Are you a concerned citizen?

Who knows more about what is going on in your community? A reporter with a deadline or informed citizens? Have you ever attended a city meeting? Are you concerned with your current leadership? Ever written a Letter to the Editor that was edited beyond recognition? Or not printed at all? Let us know what's going on in your cities, help to educate your neighbors. The things taking place now are regional and affect all of us.

Good question and good answer, Louis. Here's my take.
The key part of the word is "act" or "active." Naysayers and Cave People often sit on their butts and point fingers and are often defensive. Activists do their research, listen to lots of opinions, address the media, attend lots of boring meetings, invest their own money, instigate change rather than just moan about it - they are busy, ACTIVE people with sustained passion for their cause. They They are usually overworked and underpaid.
Also, the other side likes to use words like naysayer, CAVE people and worse to throw us off balance, to intimidate and confuse the public to satisfy their own agendas.
